My Valentine's day yesterday was

pretty decent. Anne and I went across the street to Cora's as mentioned below. We'll be back maybe in the Spring. I left out of here for lodge for a few hours. We did our practice and I got a ride home. I was home before 9pm, sweet. Anne made me a burger and fries for supper. We watched the news and that leads me to today: Family day.

The last fantasy role playing game I played was Elder Scrolls Oblivion on the Xbox 360. I had a great time with the game and my player character leveled up quite high until I got bogged down. Then our Xbox got some kind of a bug and we couldn't use it any more. I was burned out playing it and at that time got into music production. So the other day, my Super at work an online gamer and I were talking about World of Warcraft. I was wondering if that's still as popular as ever. He said its still $15 month to play. That's $180 a year! Yikes, to rich for me. I'm not really into gaming that much anymore but if I was I'd be interested in getting a Ntendo DS because I can use that for music production, and gaming. Eventually within the next 2 years I'll be getting iMac anyway, but I like the allure of hand held on the go gaming. Especially when I'm waiting for a bus or on my commute. I can see a Ntendo 3DS in my immediate future. Would I get another Xbox again? Hard to say but the good news about a console gaming system is it can be hooked up to the iMac display.

I'm sleeping in late today taking it easy and enjoying my day off. Tonight its Monday night Raw. Life is good. Anyway, that's all for now.

I had enough

sleep overnight, so I don't feel to bad. I slept for about 2 hours and rested for about 2. I'm ok for the rest of the day. Anne made me a fried egg sandwich and I have a coffee I'm working on. 

               

Most likely the word is out that physicists have discovered the elusive gravitational waves. The announcement this week that gravity waves have been detected adds another key to Einsteins theory of relativity. I'm not sure what the implications of this mean but its a big deal in the grand scheme of things. Apparently this discovery will allow researchers to understand more about space-time. 

I'm in the office for the full day from 10-6pm cleaning up on a project. Its going to be a long day but for the most part its a afternoon shift. I should be home around 7pm, have a bite to eat and watch the jets/Oilers game. Anyway, that's all for now.

The contractor has had large flat screen

TV.'s for a couple of years now in our lrt stations, and they can become loud. So much so that some people have been complaining about being blasted by annoying ads. The city of Edmonton listened. Sometimes they can overpower the call arrival. 

This is cool. The main library downtown has had a market place for awhile now. The library has had a 3D printer, and book making materials to make ones own book. Now they added a couple of sound booths. These would be great for me to record "my vocals." I'm not sure if they come with microphones or whatever.

Not that I consciously wanted it but I have a long weekend. It means I have 3 days off. Nice, and at noon today there's the Oiler's/Sens game. What a lousy time of day for a hockey game.

The CFL went and released its 2015 schedule and Esks have a bye week game 2 and another one game 20! Even our QB had said on Twitter that the way this is laid out kind of defeats the purpose of a bye week. Anyway, that's all for now.

That was one heck of a snow storm

last night. I had a long wait at Rexall on 118th from about 6:15pm until about 7pm. Nothing was coming by. No #8. I asked the #143 what happened and he said the bus comes from the south side, which means it has to come up hill out of the river valley. He said he goes to 50th st. Perfect. I waited for about 40 minutes, taking a seat outside and back to warm up. No seating inside.

I got to lodge about 7:15pm. We presented a member with a 50 year jewel and recognition. Our SW gave a slide show presentation on Freemasonry in the Philippines. Also, in a presentation, I received my ipm jewel and my apron, presented by our current master and our DDGM. It was a great night. A milestone night for me. The festive board was pulled pork (had that last night at home) We had a good turnout of visitors as well. What's next in Freemasonry for me after I pay my lodge dues? Royal Arch and more lodge visiting. I'm going onto Royal Arch that in the Spring and continue work in my lodge. 

Our SW Will gave me a ride home. This was about 11pm and the snow had stopped. The eye of the storm because we're supposed to get round 2 today. Just what we need for family day weekend. I'm also waiting for my schedule most likely in my email before I leave. If I have any unexpected off days, let them be after a Tuesday. I know I'm in on Saturday and I hope I have Sunday.Anyway, that's all for now.
